A tourist exploring the rural areas of Gurugram found their journey taking an unexpected turn when an Uber driver accused them of handing over a counterfeit note. The tourist, who goes by the username "barkka" on Reddit, shared the incident in a post, and quickly caught the attention of others. The drama unfolded when the driver inspected the note and began shouting, “Fake! Fake!” Confused by the outburst and the language barrier, the tourist initially thought it was a personal insult. The truth, however, was far stranger—the note was a comedic counterfeit featuring stamps like “Churan Label,” “Full of Fun,” and issued by the fictitious "Manoranjan Bank of India". Recalling the moment, the tourist wrote, “I’m 90% sure this came from the ATM. The other 10% is me not wanting to believe an ATM could mess up like this.” The incident, while embarrassing, left them with a valuable lesson: always check cash carefully before use.

The tourist admitted feeling equal parts embarrassment and confusion, wondering how they had come to possess such an obviously fake note. The Reddit post swiftly drew a flurry of comments from entertained users. One user wrote, “100% the taxi driver switched the money. Happened to my cousin in Mumbai. The exact same thing but for him it was 2000 rupee notes when we had them.” Another user wrote, “Man you just got manoranjan'd. There's no recovering from it. May you have the power to live with this.” A third person commented, “Okay I understand you didn’t see it, BUT DID YOU NOT FEEL IT?” to which the tourist replied, “I'm not a very keen person.”
